In the year 1981 Murthy founded Infosys with an initial capital of 
10,000 borrowing from his wife Sudha. He served as the founder CEO of Infosys for 21 years, and was succeeded by co-founder Nandan Nilekani in March 2002.
Murthy has imparted huge lessons of life from his journey before and after Infosys and he had spoken about those striking incidents of life at many auspicious occasions. The first event which taught him great lesson of life occurred when he was a graduate student at IIT, Kanpur. The incident took place when he was at his breakfast in 1968 when he had a chance encounter with a famous computer scientist from a well-known U.S. university.
The professor discussed exciting new developments in the field of computer science with a large group of students and how those developments would alter the future. He was eloquent and his facts were beyond argumentation. Murthy was hooked in his teachings so deeply that he straight away headed towards library from his breakfast table and read four or five papers that professor had suggested, and left the library determined to study computer science. That's when he found the real purpose in life. This experience taught him how the most valuable advice can sometimes come from an unexpected source.
